I've had my period...

I've had my period for over a week...it started with what looked like brown "discharge" a week ago, then I started getting sore breasts and cramps and now it's a slow red flow...I am on birth control (Nexplanon) that will be need to be replaced/taken out in March...I've also gained some healthy weight back (previously wasn't getting a period), so wondering if this has anything to do with the healthy weight gain

Doctor's Assistant: Are you in any pain? How regular are your periods?

My lower abdominal area feels crampy, but nothing abnormal My periods have not been regular for years...almost 10 years (suffered from an eating disorder for a long while)...my thought was that this is my body just re-regulating itself, but wanted to be sure I was also tested 6 mo. ago for STDs and HPV Got a pap smear

Doctor's Assistant: Anything else in your medical history you think the doctor should know?

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

I feel so much better today, and upon further investigation believe that there is a chance that the responses I got saved me from a serious, even life threatening situation. I am very grateful to the experts who answered me.

I can go as far as to say it could have resulted in saving my sons life and our entire family now knows what bipolar is and how to assist and understand my most wonderful son, brother and friend to all who loves him dearly.
Thank you very much

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.

I'm not on birth control and haven't been sexually active for a few years now. 28 and healthy, compete in triathlons, eat well, have a normal monthly cycles, and my period isn't due for another week and i've been experiencing light spotting the past 3 days. This has never happened before so I'm wondering why and if I should go to an OBGYN or if it is likely just due to stress or something else that isn't to worry about. … read more
